Excellent Attorney

He is an excellent attorney my ex-employer made me signed a non-compete agreement back in 2008; after working there for five years I decided to leave the company and work on my own 7 months later I received a letter of cease and desist based on such agreement. David demonstrated that it wasn't enforc...eable under Georgia law. He was very knowledgeable of the law, kept me informed and follow up for months. I couldn't ask for a better Attorney. Thanks a lot David.

Contracts and agreements lawyer | Apr 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with David on several matters off and on over the past few years. From my experience with him, he's always 100% focused on his clients and always has their best interests in mind (especially from a cost perspective). I've found his work product to be excellent and his research thorough. He's also a highly skilled negotiator and will fight hard for you as a client."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
